Well Ive been strictly vegetarian for 12 years and Im doing fine, I'm well fit
as long as you get your b12 somewhere, eat healthy, vegan diet is perfectly all right.

Hi, I am a sixteen year old boy who for some time has been considering going vegan. I don't really want to explain the whole thing, but to summarise, I think it is superfluous to exploit animals where there are harmless or less damaging alternatives available.
As I am off school for summer now I think it's a good time to give it a go, without t ...[text shortened]... re black and look reasonably similar to leather, I should be alright I think.
Many thanks.
I don't know how to deal with the problems you've mentioned. Sorry!

Vegan ethics are synonomous for no ethics and confused morals.
And ethics in general has to do with the concepts of right and wrong behavior.

Surely the difficulty of being vegan is a not so subtle hint from nature that the human body is supposed to eat animal products?
Eating the products or flesh of animals isn't inherently bad. It is the inhuman way in which many producers go about the supply of such products. Becoming vegan won't help stop this (particularly if you can't walk or speak for lack of B12). If you really want to help the animals, join a movement. Veganism is an artificial ego builder and guilt irradicator.

Originally posted by cmsMasterNo, not being vegan is really really dumb. Do you realize that you are judging somebody by what they eat and what they believe? In this case non-violent and compassionate behavior. You are a human being aren't you? 😕 But maybe you could prove your assertion first, that would be something. 😉

Originally posted by KalsenExactly wrong. I suggest to you also, that you do some research; i could easily tear your mawkish statements to shreds.

For example; Who or what "says" that we are "supposed" to eat rotten dead flesh? Or consume dead animals everyday of your life?? You leave that question hanging in the breeze thinking no one will notice.
And let's define "animal products" while we are at it.
